StainTalk’s Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Policy

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law.

Counter notification

If a DMCA notice is valid, StainTalk is required by law to respond to it by disabling access to the allegedly infringing content. The provider of affected content may make a counter notification pursuant to sections 512(g) (2) and (3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. When we receive a counter notification, we may reinstate the material in question.

Counter notices must include the following or they will be deemed invalid:

  1. Your name, address, phone number and physical or electronic signature;
  2. Identification of the allegedly infringing content and its location before disabling access; and
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury explaining why the content was removed by mistake or misidentification.

Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is not infringing the copyrights of others. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.
